Default resetting the ECU

The search seems to be down. Could someone please tell me how to reset the ECU? I've seen some shuddering at low RPM's, and when I start the car, the motor almost dies when it's been sitting for a day or so.

Thanks

I am sure there is a better way but .... what I do is disconnect the battery, then put the key in the on position and tap the break once just to no that any and all power left in the car is gone. Then I leave the car sit over night.

Remove the third fuse down on the right side, wait at least a minute, then reinstall the fuse. If you're getting shuddering when coming down to an idle, then you should try cleaning your throttle plate with some intake cleaner. This worked for me.

might also want to check your O2 sensor. The one on my sister's civic just went down....same symptoms. I just unplug the battery for 30 minutes with the cabin light in the "on" position. This worked on the civic.

thanks for the info.

is cleaning your throttle plate something I can do pretty easily, or something I should have the dealer do?
